This extraordinary moment is also a testament to the support of other Swifties, who rallied behind Mikael when he faced minor issues with Taylor Swift’s team leading up to the concert. Initially, Mikael had trouble getting the tickets promised to him, which then prompted his fellow stans to take it to the internet to plea for Mikael to be granted front-row seating, all the free merchandise, and, of course, the famous 22 hat; things befitting the man who made Bejeweled an online hit. This turn of events is a heartwarming full-circle moment for Mikael and all the other Swifties. Who knows which Taylor Swift song Mikael will make iconic next?
